The Tuhoe people deserve an apology from the government and the police due to how they were treated during the raids. I believe that the people that participated in the hikoi deserve to be heard and shame on Helen Clarke for not meeting them. Many of us are concerned that the T.S.A. law breaches our human rights and we all have the right to be heard. To turn this forum into a petty slinging match about who is or isn't on a benefit really misses the point. It could be you next....or your children.
